Topics of interest may include one or more of the following (but are not limited to) themes;

• Software infrastructure, middleware, agent technologies and frameworks
• Device technologies
• Communication technologies
• Sensor networks and RFIDs
• Location sensing and management
• Context-aware computing
• Privacy, security and trust
• Pervasive services
• Attentive environments
• Programming paradigms
• User interfaces and interaction models
• Mobile and wireless systems and services
